no! Otherwise we would not have so many where hundreds or thousands of people getting killed, like the recent one in Japan. To make real predictions would require knowing the location of all these faults (some kind of map), knowing at what stage each of them is (how much tension there is and what kind of things are preventing the fault from slipping) and how they interact with one another. Even for very carefully studied regions like southern California, we have only a very small fraction of the information that would be needed for true prediction.
based on? they are based on tectonic plate movement.
no time ....
The 2010 Chilean earthquake lasted 90 seconds.
Long Island
for about 8 seconds
sometimes they are but not always i believe
according to my research they should be ore accurate in the future
dirty vinger
the average earthquake time for long beach depends on how the high or low the magnitude range is.
based on? they are based on tectonic plate movement.
repetative
If you mean distance-yes, if you mean time, not yet.
It is important to known how long an earthquake will last so that scientist will know if there will be a bigger one. The bigger earthquakes are called main-shock.
Predicting earthquakes is quite difficult. Long term predictions are imprecise but possible. They can estimate within 100 or so years when an eruption will occur. They study slip rates, slip magnitudes, and fault history. Short term predictions are precise, but very difficult. It is based on fluid pressure, gas release, changes in magnetic fields, foreshocks, and gaps in earthquake records.
Long-range earthquake forecasts are based on historical seismic data, geological observations, and models that analyze patterns and probabilities of seismic activity in specific regions. Scientists use these tools to assess the likelihood of earthquake occurrence over longer time frames, but note that such forecasts are inherently uncertain due to the complexity of tectonic processes.
dont know,and dont care
People make predictions based on past experiences, trends, data analysis, and intuition in order to anticipate future outcomes or events. These predictions can range from short-term weather forecasts to long-term economic trends or even personal decisions about relationships or career choices. It's important to note that predictions are not always accurate and can be influenced by various factors.
